Pocket God and Fruit Ninja both live in the Marketplace

Well that didn't take too long. Just a few hours after announcing that they were coming, Microsoft has gone ahead and pushed the publish button, releasing Pocket God and Fruit Ninja, each fetching for a fair $2.99.

We're betting both games should be big hits as these are the kinds of titles that causal gamers are looking for on mobile phones these days. Give 'em a spin and let us know in comments your thoughts! (In the meantime, I'm going to unleash my inner-vengeful God in a very un-P.C. way on some Pygmies...)

Pocket God and Fruit Ninja both live in the Marketplace

just like you said these games are great for causal gamers, i'm waiting for the real stuff. I want to see more of the wp7 and xbox tie together games like we got a taste of with crackdown 2 project sunburst.

I just tried Pocket God. It's not really my kind of game but it worked really well. But the game takes a very long time to load, and this is something that microsoft has to address with WP7. I uninstalled shortly after.

If this is the way Microsoft does their apps, then WP7 will be a massive fail. Fruit Ninja is free on the Android platform, but WP7 users get the "privilege" of paying for it on their platform. MS does the same thing on their XBox Live platform and I'm getting really ticked with them.
